Isaac Del Toro thread

When someone mentions my opinions, I would appreciate it if they read the entire message :rolleyes: .

In my message, I predict that Del Toro will win all these races for Italy. Rubbing in the Giro di Emilia thread that he won is absurd when I myself said he would win. LOL

The message wasn't about his chances of winning this week. Should read the full messages. Thanks.
 
So is he the next Eddie Merckx? Did anyone in the past have a better rookies season than Del Toro?
This isn't Del Toro's rookie season, it's his second. Pogacar won the Tour in his second year.

In his Rookie year, Del Toro won a stage in TDU and Asturias. Pogacar was on the podium at the Vuelta with three mountain stages, Algarve, California.

The one who's in Rookie's year is Brennan; I think he'll also beat Del Toro's 2024.
But It'll be difficult to do that in his second year.

Google AI Overview tells me this when I ask is isaac del toro a neo pro:

Yes, Isaac del Toro is a neo-pro, having started his professional cycling career in 2024 with UAE Team Emirates and immediately making a significant impact

As Toby replied to me I doubt we could say he is still a neo pro. But he isn't far off.

The way he just won Giro dell'Emilia bridging the gap to Pidcock from the elite chasing group on San Luca was very impressive.
 
And he mostly lose the Giro because of tactics, he was clearly the strongest.

I somehow doubt that. He was really struggling on the tough multi mountain stages (Finestre before Finestre wasn't tough).
Put Recta Contador and I think he is a minute behind Carapaz on the top.
And I don't think he was all that strong on Finestre either. So far this season he is giving all the impressions of a reborn Valverde.
